Villa

The Netherlands, Utrecht, Lage Vuursche, Kloosterlaan 4

This stunning country mansion previously owned by several Dutch aristocratic families is located in the charming countryisde around the village of Lage Vuursche not far from the university town of Utrecht. Several outbuilding are situated on its vast land, which includes a park and a forest.

The property is entered via a wrought-iron gate and its circular drive leads to the grand main entrance of the six-bedroom manor estate. The main house has a ground floor marble hallway that leads to several elegant living and parlor rooms, and there is an office on the mezzanine. An extension was added in 1999 to accommodate receptions and concerts and a large orangerie, built in a Historicist style, is connected to the manor through a fifty-meter-long underground gallery with a marble floor.

The orangerie consists of a concert hall that fits up to 200 people with an ingenious floor that can be moved to uncover a swimming pool with a Jacuzzi. This space also has an antique fireplace. On the first floor, there is an apartment with a living room, kitchen, balcony, two bedrooms, and an office. The orangerie's basement functions as a parking garage, accessible via elevator, for ten cars. Upwards of fifty cars can also park outside on the grounds.

Not only the inside of the manor invites you to explore its every corner, but also the romantic garden with a large lawn, a pond, a tea house, and a rotating wooden pavilion. It is impeccably landscaped to offer far-reaching unobstructed views.

This listed manor is just a short walk from the town of Lage Vuursche in an area with forests, sand dunes, and wetlands. Dine in town, head out on a nature walk, or entertain guests—this manor is ideally suited for all of that and more.
